Literally stopped working overnight. Does not heat food and is now just an annoyance sitting above our range. Got a mere three years of use. Unacceptable for the price point.

Less than 2 years and needs to be replaced

I moved into my new build condo in May of 2017 and had a full range of Whirlpool appliances installed. In December of 2018, the interior light started flickering or not coming on at all and I started getting intermittent 'door not closed' messages that wouldn't allow the unit to start. Most concerning is that I have had 3 instances where I've opened the door and the unit kept running. Reading recent reviews; I can see this is an issue for many others. I can't believe I have to replace this microwave when it is only 20 months old, Very disappointing!

This microwave came equipped in my RV. I had the RV less than two years and used the microwave, maybe 25 times. When using it one day, as I opened the door, the interior lights flickered on and off several times. This occurred a few more times when finally, whenever I would attempt to use the microwave, it would indicate that the door is open, which prevents me from using it. I Googled the issue and see that numerous people have had the exact same problem, citing a defective door switch. I called Whirlpool and I was told the microwave is out of warrantee and they are unaware of this problem (which I highly doubt). The only assistance they offered was to give me the phone number of a nearby servicer, but said I would have to pay the entire cost for repair. I will be going to Lowes to purchase a Samsung microwave to replace this piece of junk.

I bought this unit 17 months ago as an upgrade, and it failed completely 5 months after the warranty expired. Whirlpools response was that it would cost me $200 for them to send out a technician to take a look, and that I would likely have to then pay for the parts to repair it. I had the technician who had originally installed it come back to take a look, and he said that the control panel had failed completely, shorting out the fuses as well and would be about $300 to replace, plus labour. So now I have to get a new microwave, which needless to say will likely not be Whirlpool.

electrical, mechanical and safety problems

I bought this brand new microwave YWMH31017AS-5 two years ago, all was fine for a year and half... then problems started. First the over the counter light which is underneath the microwave stopped working. No light when I cook and no night light as I always use it for. So I live with it. Then next problem started.When the door is opened, the inside light will come on sometimes but not always, it is kind of flickering on and off. The fan speed display panel started showing strange characters... instead of Slow or . Next, more seriously, two days ago, when I opened the door to stop it, the microwave continued to run (as the turntable continued to spin). So did I get exposure to the microwave ray? I am worried. I called for service and was told I have to pay for technician visit to determine the problems and pay for the solutions/parts.
So do I really want to spend another $700 microwave just to last for 18 months?
My old microwave lasted 10 years with no problem and it did not cost me this much.
I am very disappointed and upset!

I built my house less that 5 years now. We've had problems with this microwave every sense. Now it's not heating. I don't want to spend $500 on something that give me 4years to work. I will look into another brand as all of my appliances are whirlpool. This sucks

I bought the model that was available prior to this WMH31017HS. The model I bought was WMH53520CS was same except it had the sensor feature. My door SW started acting up when I noticed the inside light did not come on when the door was open. Then the SW continued to act up and then the microwave stopped working.

We purchased this unit 3 years ago (nearly to the day) and we were very happy with the unit until recently when the interior light started only working intermittently, then the unit wouldn't turn off when the door was opened. Now it won't even turn on. Unfortunate that a $500 microwave doesn't last more than 3 years.

Poor performance from day 1. Heating everything 1.5 times longer than any other microwave I've ever had. On top of that - broke exactly after the warranty was out. Magnetron seems to be dead (spinning, but not heating). Repairs are too costly, easier to replace!.. would not recommend this product!

Bought a new home about two years ago, with whirlpool appliances. Microwave displays a message of door not being closed, under light burned out, and inside light works half the time.
For the price of the microwave, would not suggest.

This unit is finicky. It was installed by the builder and came with my place. I keep getting the "door" message and have to leave the door open and wait for the light to turn on. Now the light is no longer turning on and I can no longer use it. I got a lemon.

Worst Microwave and Worst Service
Manjo
1/2/2018
I bought this microwave and used for residential purpose only. However, within 14-15 months, its not heating up and rest is working fine. I talked with customer service and they said warranty period has expired so I have to pay for labor and parts. They said labor is approx $130 for 15 min and if exceed then more. What kind of products, Whirlpool is manufacturing which doesn't last more than 14-15 months. And one time repair costs more than $200-300 (at least). I won't suggest anyone to buy Whirlpool. Bad experience. Worst product with worst service.

The microwave is great. The only issue is that when the time change occurred a week ago, the microwave and the Whirlpool oven/stove did not automatically change the current time. The products should have this feature!

Simple and Easy to Use; Aesthetically Pleasing
9/13/2016
Our 15-16 year old Maytag gave out just as company was to arrive for the weekend so this microwave oven was purchased under some duress. White was hard to find. This one was readily available from a dealer we trusted. Surprisingly, we are enjoying the intuitive simplicity of operation, adequate functionality and good looks. Only set back is the large (full width) exhaust air opening at the front/top of the unit. Our oven vents to the rear therefore the "recirculating vent" opening is no longer required. This leaves the oven vulnerable to dust entering it and also things falling out of the cabinet above into the unit. We are awaiting a response from Whirlpool regarding the availability of a snap in cover to blank off this long narrow opening. We were hopeful that our next microwave oven would have the inverter technology built into it for even defrosting of frozen food which our new model does not have. It hasn't been a real issue so far.

Great Microwave, Average Hood Fan
SeriouslyQuiet
9/10/2016
For those of you who are looking for a hood fan for your new home, this seems to be the perfect choice. This microwave and hood combination have a fantastic stainless steel finish that made it look high end and stylish. The microwave is powerful and easy to use.HOWEVER,If you are purchasing this microwave/hood combination, do take note that the actual hood fan is not all that powerful. Although the fan is a 2-speed fan, there are very little airflow even when the fan is turned to maximum power. The fan is able to deal with a bit of steam produced from boiling, however if you want the fan to suck the oily smell from the kitchen when you are frying, then this fan is not going to help you a whole lot. I would recommend purchasing other Whirlpool microwave hood combination that have more powerful hood fans. But if you do not need a very powerful hood fan, and don't want to have a microwave taking up precious counter space, this microwave hood combo is a great and affordable option.*I personally prefer mounting this combo in a cluster of white cabinets for a clean, contrasting look.

This microwave came with our new house and it's great. Works perfectly, super easy to clean and the timer and cooking can run simultaneously which I love. Only thing I've knocked it down to 4 starts for is that it marks easily with fingerprints so it's a constant cleaning job. Other than that, I love it!
